transferred into and use the proper vehicle seat and restraints. However, if your chair is
to be transported in a vehicle, your vehicle restraint system must comply with AS2942

Do not use armrests as attachment points for your tie down system.
Unoccupied wheelchairs in vehicles must be safely secured or stored securely
outside the passenger compartment.
Posture Positioning Belts should not be used as vehicle restraint belts.
NOTE: Ensure that your restraint system complies with AS2942 and you fully
understand the manufacturer instructions on how your tie down system works and
whether it is compatible with the Glide Power Chair .
